Lightning’s Curtis McElhinney excited to join Tampa Bay

TAMPA — A warmer climate and a great team are just two of the things Lightning goaltender Curtis McElhinney is looking forward to in the 2019-20 season.

In an interview with NHL Tonight broadcasters, McElhinney said he is especially looking forward to being on the other side of the Lightning’s “high-powered offense” having “faced the brunt of it” last season when the 36-year-old goaltender played for the Carolina Hurricanes.

“I’m excited to get down there,” he said. “This is Round 2 in Tampa for me so hopefully it will be a little bit longer than the last time I went through there.
